What are Lenawee County Public Records?

According to Michigan's FOIA, Lenawee County public records are documents generated by county agencies, regardless of physical form. Under the statute, interested parties can receive Lenawee public records by submitting requests to the appropriate custodian agency. However, some records, especially records where the release would infringe on an individual's privacy if disclosed, are unavailable to the public. The same applies to law enforcement records that would jeopardize an investigation.

In addition to government agencies, county public records may also be obtained from third-party websites. These non-government platforms come with intuitive tools that allow for expansive searches. Record seekers may either opt to use these tools to search for a specific record or multiple records. Users are able to search third-party websites remotely for multiple records at a time with just the name of the record subject and their last known location, including the city, county, or state. Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this, record availability and results may vary.
